Rather than challenging the insights of grammaticalization theory, the different contributions to this monograph demonstrate that exaptation, capitalization, refunctionalization and adfunctionalization, as well as changes motivated by rhetorical guidelines, constitute interesting and valuable notions that allow for a better understanding of specific language changes in Spanish and, by extension, of language change in general.preferentialityLatin medianteOld Spanishfirst-person plural of haberanalogical extensionabsolute clausediscursive traditionCastilian articlescontextSpanishdefinitenesssyntax variationpast participle constructionsyntactic borrowingprepositional valuereanalysisresultatives&ltcapitalizationconnectorspecializationexaptationevolutionary processadfunctionalizationante-anteselisionlanguage changegrammaticalizationfrequency effectsLatinismsgrammatical calqueconstructionhistorical linguisticsauxiliariesfolk etymologyadversativityexistential verb form habemostemporalityrefunctionalizationindefinitenessparticiple clauseindefinite article + possessive + noun&gtNieuwenhuijsen Dorien1786460Garachana MarScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367751103321Studies in Historical Linguistics and Language Change.
